Rusting boats and ships of various sizes parts and pieces of a former industrial marina. A few out buildings as well.
There are "Warning - - Guard Dog" signs about, but I didn;t find any. There are some disused dog houses scattered around the lot but with all the holes in the fencing I guess they ran away.

Appears to be an industrial marine junkyard, offering a good view of the former shipbuilding / graving docks that were the mainstay of this town until the business died off.
